Intro

Data is the new oil. It’s valuable, but if unrefined it cannot really be used. It has to be changed into gas, plastic, chemicals, etc to create a valuable entity that drives profitable activity; so data must be broken down, analyzed for it to have value.

Simplicity


“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.”

Uncertainty

Donald Rumsfeld

Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know.

We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.

But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don’t know we don’t know.

And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tends to be the difficult ones.

Statistics

Machine Learning

Dan Ariely

Big Data is like teenage sex:

everyone talks about it

nobody really knows how to do it

everyone thinks everyone else is doing it

so everyone claims they are doing it.
